Blessing of the Backpacks and Pot luck

packerlandteam

Sunday September, 14th


We open the program year at church once more with our annual Blessing of the Backpacks on Sunday September 14. This celebration welcomes everyone back to church, Sunday school, youth group, and more. Please bring your backpack, briefcase, tote bag, or whatever you carry around to receive a special gift tag and blessing for the new year ahead. This blessing is meant for all ages.

We will also celebrate our 150th year with a potluck after church. Since we are celebrating the kickoff to the new Sunday School season, it only seems right to have a “Back to School theme” for our potluck. The 150th committee will be providing all the fixings for sandwiches. Please bring a side dish or dessert that you like with your lunches, either during your school days or now! Don’t miss it!

Thursday, September 25th

We are excited to host a meeting of Winnebago Presbytery here on Thursday, September 25 beginning at 10 am.


Since meetings of the presbytery are done in the hybrid form, some participants will be here in person and others will be online through Zoom. We expect maybe 40-50 people here on site. The meeting begins with registration at 9:30, including coffee and refreshments in Fellowship Room.


Commissioners (pastors and ruling elders from each congregation in the region) will proceed to the Sanctuary for worship and the business meeting. They will take a break for lunch, to be served in Banner Hall, then finish any remaining business by 2 or 3 pm.

Finding Resilience Book

“Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ” is the title of a new monthly Bible study hosted by the Esther Circle which will begin on:

June 16th at 1:00 pm in the Fellowship Room.

Together we will explore resilience as modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus. We will also explore joy and how to find it in a chaotic world.

Christian joy may be different from how a lot of people define joy. The book is available from Nancy Siewert for the cost of $14. Please come join us!
